Abstract excerpt
Plastid division is controlled by numerous nuclear genes. Arabidopsis thaliana CRUMPLED LEAF (AtCRL) is a plastid division-related gene, and the crl mutant exhibits a dwarf phenotype with abnormal cell division and a significant reduction in plastid numbers. However, the function of AtCRL is not fully understood. Here, we identified and characterized two AtCRL homologs, PpCRL1 and PpCRL2, in the moss...
